TWO QUARTS !S GOOD
YIELD FOR MILK DOE
Swiss Toggenburg Hornless Milk
Goat.
while tlie production of two quarts Is
good, mid the production of three
quarts Is considered excellent, provid
ed the lactation Is maintained for from
seven to ten months, say specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. There is probably no bet
ter way to treat this matter thun to
stnte thut good does should produce
from eight to fifteen times their
weight In milk In a lactation period.
It Is stated by German writers that
inuuy goats yield ten times their body
weight of milk annually, and excep
tional animals us much us eighteen
times their weight.
Goats’ milk cun be utilized for the
same purposes ns cows’ milk, nlthough
for some It Is not nearly so well suit
ed. For general use, such as for
drlnklug, cooking, and In tea or cof
fee, the milk has proved very satis
factory. The milk of one of the larg
est herds in the country is evapo
rated and sold In that form. Goats’
milk ts less satisfactory than cows’
milk for making butter, but large
quantities of goats’-mllk cheese are
manufactured, especially In Europe.
Practically aft publications dealing
with milk goats attribute considerable
Importance to the use of the milk for
Infants and invalids.
TO PREVENT POTATO LOSSES
Serious Damage Results From Carelesi
Handling at Harvest Time—
Avoid Breaking Skin.
Growers and shippers are responsi
ble for much of the loss that results
from shipping diseased potatoes, since
a large part of such losses can be con
trolled, if not entirely prevented, In
the field, according to specialists of
tile bureau of markets of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Serious damage results from careless
handling when the potatoes ore har
vested. Too many persons, It Is said,
handle potatoes as though they, were
so many cobblestones, rather than a
perishable product. Even the breaking
of the protective skin frequently
proves serious. Such Injury not only
damages the appearance and neces
sitates deep paring of the tuber, but
affords ready entrance to infection
I.oss of this sort lies In every grower's
and shipper's power to control, It is
pointed out.

(Prepared by (lift t'riltnd States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
About tite first question that most
people ask concerning milk goats is,
"How much milk will they produce?”
'Tills Is, of course, a very important
consideration, as the value of a doe
Is estimated largely by her milk pro
duction. Even if a iloe is purebred,
’she Is of little value from the utility
standpoint unless she is capable of !
giving a good quantity of milk. Many |
persons in purchasing purebred or even
1,'raile goats have been disappointed to ]
find that the milk could he met sured I
In pinls and not quarts or gallons as |
expected.
A doe that, produces three pints a
flay is considered only a fair milker.

SECURE 3EST HARVEST HELP
Rovers are Usually Efficient but They
Are Liable to Leave Before Crops
Are All In.
Getting help for the harvest rush is
« problem which Is best faced weeks
In advance. Grain, and orchard bar
vest seasons tiring to many sections
large numbers of traveling help who
start with a crop In the South and
work north with the season to the
Canadian border. These workers are
usually efficient through long ex
perience, hut .they are likely to feel
the urge of the road and leave before
tfie farmer gets his crop all harvested,
obliging film to pay a much higher rate
to secure the remainder of the crop
before it spoils. Wherever efficient
local help can he obtained, it Is to
fie preferred to the rovers.
SELECT HARNESS WITH CARE
Ec Especially Careful That Reins,
Breeching and Various Straps
Are Heavy and Strong.
Select harness with care. See that
it is well made. Slake sure, especially,
that the reins, breeching, holdback j
straps, tugs or traces, belly bands and
yoke straps are sufficiently heavy and |
strong for the work required. A tun- )
away team cannot ho controlled with !
weak reins, nor will weak tugs and |
straps siuml heavy work.
W HEN the talk is of ribbons, it is
apt to he endless, for there Is
no end to the ways in which ribbons
are used in all the belongings of wom
en and children. Even bathing suits
are not immune; some of them Haunt
ninny long ends of bright colored rib
bon hanging at each side from u nar
row girdle. They make picturesque
playthings for the waves. Suits of
light-colored Jersey cloth have sashes
of black taffeta ribbon finished with
buoyunt hows and short ends, or
longer bows and ends nre featured In
this ribbon when the sash is worn with
a vivid color.
Speaking of sashes leads right
away into the inldst of a glorious com
pany of them mode for wear with af
ternoon and evening gowns. Both wide
and narrow ribbons command tlie at
tention of designers for making gir
dles and sashes, which they often elab
orate with rosettes or ribbon flowers.
Or they use these ornaments independ
ently on the corsage, substituting head
or other girdles for those of ribbon
and centering attention on the ribbon
ornaments. A ribbon sash, elaborated
with ribbon flowers Is shown in the
Picture above—a wide, plain satin rib
bon makes ttie sasli and a narrow rib

COMMONERS ASSERT RIGHTS
Bill Introduced to Curb Government’*
Taxation Power.
There Is a growing spirit of revolt
among the more Independent members
of the British parliament against 1 lie
Increasing frequency with which, It Is
alleged, the government Imposes taxa
tion without giving due consideration
to the rlglUs of the members of the
house of commons to lie consulted In
such mutters. The distinguished *>l-
dlor nnd doughty political fighter,
(’apt. William Wedgwood Bonn, bail
Introduced in the bouse a bill declar
ing that no tux should he levied for
the use of the crown save liv the house
of commons, Unptaln Wedgwood calls
Ids bill llic “declaration of rights act,
11)21.”
The hill |s barked by Sir Donald
Maclean, Lord Robert Cecil nnd Sir
Frederick Banbury. Nobody Imagines
that it lias any chance of passing, but
If it should ever come before the
house it will give some of the revolt-
era an opportunity to say what they
think about the government's methods
of raising money from the taxpayers.
back In short loops, with long ends
seem destined to finish off many sim
ple evening frocks for young girls.
The very lavish use of ribbons on
bouquets for brides and brldesrnnlds
cannot be overlooked In this brief
chapter In the long story of ribbons.
On brides’ bouquets they have been
wide and splendid and from the bou
quets of the maids long loops of rib
bon with ends trailing on the floor
tinve given a new importance to rib
bons In the bridal procession.
Narrow grosgruin and ptcot edged
ribbons often provide sashes and gir
dles for georgette blouses which they
match in color. These girdles are
loosely adjusted and often tied at each
side. They give very little definition
of the waist line and nre used on
blouses with pepltims. Sometimes they
fall to extend nil around the waist
but are tneked on at each side of tin*
back and front nnd tied at (be sides.
A pretty arrangement of ribbon for
the evening coiffure is shown in the
picture, but as hair ornaments ribbons
appeur to have suffered the eclipse
that 1ms overtaken other hair orna
ments of an unpretentious character.

The total value of the candy and
